The City of Aurora is celebrating our diverse international community on Saturday, August 23, through Global Fest 2014 (http://auroraglobalfest.org/).

The festival features dancing, music, arts and crafts, live entertainment, educational activities and delicious international foods from noon to 10 p.m. on the Great Lawn of the Aurora Municipal Center (15151 E. Alameda Parkway).

Global Fest is the first city-coordinated event to celebrate and highlight the hundreds of different ethnicities that call Aurora home.
